عَمْرُو بْنُ أَخْطَبَ أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ

tabarani:14182Muʿādh b. al-Muthanná > Musaddad > Ismāʿīl b. Ibrāhīm > Khālid > Abū Qilābah > a man from Qawmih Aḥsabuh ʿAmr b. Bujdān > Abū Zayd

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued until he reached the outskirts of the Ansar's dwellings and found a group of people. He asked, "Who slaughtered?" A man came out and said, "O Messenger of Allah, today is a day of hardship in terms of food." He said, "Prepare something." The man said, "By Allah, all I have is a piece or a pregnant sheep." He said, "Prepare it." He said this three times, then he said, "Slaughter it and it will not be sufficient for anyone after you."  

الطبراني:١٤١٨٢حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أنا خَالِدٌ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ أَحْسَبُهُ عَمْرَو بْنَ بُجْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ قَالَ

أقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ دِيَارِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَجَدَ قُتَارًا فَقَالَ «مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي ذَبَحَ؟» فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا يَوْمٌ الطَّعَامُ فِيهِ كَرِيهٌ قَالَ «فَأَعِدْ» قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا جَذَعَةٌ أَوْ حَمَلٌ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ قَالَ «أَعِدْ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «فَاذْبَحْهُ وَلَا تُجْزِئُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ»

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by one of the houses of the Ansar and noticed the smell of a cooking pot. He said: ‘Who is this who has slaughtered?’ A man from among us came out and said: ‘It is me, O Messenger of Allah, I slaughtered before the prayer so that I could feed my family and neighbors.’ He commanded him to repeat it. He said: ‘No, by the One besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, I do not have anything but a one-year-old sheep or a lamb.’ He ﷺ said: ‘Sacrifice it, but a one-year-old sheep will not do for anyone after you.’”

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by the homes of the Ansar and found them in a state of silence. He asked, "Who is responsible for this?" Or, as Ismail said, he expressed doubt. A man came forward and said, "O Messenger of Allah, today is a day on which we dislike meat. And I hurriedly concealed my knife." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Prepare it." The man said, "By Allah, all I have is a stump or a pregnant sheep." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slaughter it, for no stump will suffice for any other person after you."

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَوَجَدَ قُتَارًا فَقَالَ مَنْ صَنَعَ هَذَا؟ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ شَكَّ إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا يَوْمٌ اللَّحْمُ فِيهِ كَرِيهٌ وَإِنِّي عَجَّلْتُ نَسِيكَتِي قَالَ فَأَعِدْ قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا جَذَعٌ أَوْ حَمَلٌ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ قَالَ فَاذْبَحْهُ وَلَا يُجْزِئُ جَذَعٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by our homes and found some remains. He asked, "Who slaughtered this?" A man from among us came forward and said, "O Messenger of Allah, today was a day when eating was disliked, so I slaughtered it to eat and feed my neighbors." The Messenger of Allah said, "Prepare it." The man replied, "By the One besides whom there is no deity, I only have a leg or a shoulder of the sheep." He repeated this three times. The Messenger of Allah said, "So slaughter it, and there is no reward for anyone after you."
